The Question of DW Approaches:
Contrasting Inmon and Kimball
Ian Abramson,   President of IOUG
 

Topic:
The decision to build a data warehouse is one that every organization will need to make if they wish to remain competitive in today’s challenging markets. The choice will also lead to another decision that will need to be made. What data warehousing architectural approach should I take? There are two contrasting styles that are widely accepted today. The first was proposed by Bill Inmon who defined the Corporate Information Factory and the warehouse that is a part of this enterprise vision. The other is Ralph Kimball who is the proponent of Dimensional modeling and a bottom-up approach. This presentation will provide details on each approach and compare each so that the attendee may make a better more informed decision when the need to embark on a data warehouse is required.

Speaker: 
Ian Abramson is the current President of the IOUG. Ian is an Oracle and data warehousing expert with more than 20 years experience. Based in Toronto, Canada, he is currently an industry and technical consultant providing expert guidance in implementing solutions for clients in the telecommunications, CRM and utilities industries among others.  He is the author of numerous books on both Oracle and data warehousing and is a regular presenter at numerous industry conferences and seminars
